Dirty War is a British television drama film, co-written by Lizzie Mickery and Daniel Percival and directed by Percival that was broadcast on BBC One on 26 September 2004.

Production

Percival was tasked with creating the film by BBC executives, whose outline for the project was "think about what the new generation of terrorism actually meant". Percival stated that "The challenge of Dirty War was to tell the story of the attack from the intimate perspective of several different characters. We want to get the messages of this film to the widest possible audience."

Mickery was asked if she would like to co-write the script. She said of her contribution; "I think drama has the capacity to touch more people. If you are caught up in the emotions of the characters involved - and not just the statistics - the effect it has on you will last longer and be more intimate. Dirty War's aim is to try to make sense of the situation we all face, to ask questions on our behalf, and most importantly, to move us."

The film took eighteen months to produce with the basic scenario being based on "extensive" research. It was decided at an early stage that the film should not feature any major actors in order not to detract from the storyline.

MillTv was involved with the film's special effects.
